Major impacts and societal costs of seagrass loss on sediment carbon and nitrogen stocks

Ecosphere, 2021
Seagrass meadows constitute important carbon sinks, and the ongoing global loss of seagrass habitats raises concerns about the release of carbon stored in their sediments.

Improving seed‐based restoration in Eelgrass (Zostera marina) in combined aquarium and field experiments

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract Introduction Seagrass restoration efforts are being implemented globally to accelerate the slow natural recolonization success. Among the various existing methods, seed‐based approaches offer the greatest scalability for species like Zostera marina, yet these methods remain undeveloped for a number of sub‐tidal systems like the Baltic Sea ...

Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

The Mussels That Came in From the Cold: Long‐Term Effects of the Population Collapse in the 1960s May Explain Low Abundances of Boreal Mussels in the Subarctic Despite the Warming

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Arctic warming is predicted to have a positive effect on boreal species. To test this hypothesis, we gathered and analyzed two datasets on blue mussels Mytilus from the Murman Coast of the Barents Sea. The first dataset contained data on the age structure of a mussel population monitored from 2001 to 2020, while the second dataset contained data on ...

Fishes in Eelgrass Meadows Show Large Interspecific Differences in Thermal Acclimation to Marine Heatwaves

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Marine heatwaves increasingly expose shallow eelgrass habitats to thermal extremes. We experimentally exposed 12 fish species collected from eelgrass meadows to a simulated heatwave and quantified thermal tolerance and short‐term acclimation capacity.

Artificial oyster reefs can facilitate the recovery of lost ecosystem function in fragmented seagrass habitat

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Seagrasses suffer population decline when environmental stress exceeds physiological tolerance. In such instances, seagrass restoration can be successful if stressors are alleviated; however, many stressors cannot be addressed at a local scale. As such, seagrass restoration efforts often fail. In this study, we tested whether artificial oyster

An Inter-Method Comparison of Drones, Side-Scan Sonar, Airplanes, and Satellites Used for Eelgrass (Zostera marina) Mapping and Management

Geosciences
Remote sensing is heavily relied upon where eelgrass maps are needed for tracking trends, project siting and permitting, water quality assessments, and restoration planning.

Remote Sensing of Shallow Coastal Benthic Substrates: In situ Spectra and Mapping of Eelgrass (Zostera marina) in the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve of Canada

Remote Sensing, 2011
Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a keystone component of inter- and sub-tidal ecosystems. However, anthropogenic pressures have caused its populations to decline worldwide. Delineation and continuous monitoring of eelgrass distribution is an integral part of

Grazer Functional Roles, Induced Defenses, and Indirect Interactions: Implications for Eelgrass Restoration in San Francisco Bay

Diversity, 2014
Understanding the individual and interactive roles of consumer species is more than academic when the host plant is a subject of intense conservation interest.
